My talents

1. Dancing! I have taken classes in Ballet, Jazz, Lyrical, Hip-hop, and Tap.
2. Whistling! I taught myself how to whistle over the course of two days. I drove my mom practically insane because of it, but at least I know how to whistle! :)
3. Drawing
4. Doodling (Yes, I believe that doodling can be a talent in and of itself)
5. Singing
6. Having different accents
7. A wee little bit of acting.
8. Knitting
9. Crocheting (I prefer knitting)
10. Sewing
11. Some gymnastics... I used to do a ton, but sadly, I have lost the majority of my skills. :(
12. Playing the piano... Like gymnastics, I played the piano a lot when I was younger but haven't in quite a while, so it doesn't come quite as naturally anymore.

This is a pretty generic list of talents, but I plan to post another list in the future and hopefully it will be a bit more interesting than this one. :)

10 Reasons...

10 reasons why I can't clean my room at the moment...

1. I have a TON of homework that I need to do because I procrastinated today. Shame on me...
2. I am going on a school field trip on Monday, so that adds even more homework to my usual load.
3. When I am not doing homework, I'm at dance. And not just my usual classes, I have an extra class this week because I'm assisting for someone who is currently out of state.
4. I can not clean UP my room because I have to clean it OUT first, and that takes much more thought and time than just cleaning it up.
5. Why can't I clean my room "at the moment"? Well, because instead of actually doing it, I'm blogging about it on the computer of course!
6. Uhhhh . . . Because sleep is more important? Maybe?
7. I have to eat . . . All the time.
8. Because I'm too smart! (Not true)
9. I am waiting for the house cleaning fairy to do it for me. She's purple and her name is Cordelia.
10. I am a huge procrastinator when it comes to cleaning my room. That is that.

I just need to suck it up and do it whether I want to or not. It's really important that I do it soon because I'm supposed to be getting a new mattress over the weekend and I'll be rearranging my room. However, I can not do that if I have clothes lying all over the place. Ugh.
Well, good bye for now. I am going to go do some more homework and wish that I was cleaning my room instead.
   Farewell!

Zoo Animals...

I have been thinking about the zoo quite often lately. It's one of my all time favorite places to go, I love it so much. Sadly, however, I haven't been there since I was a very small child. Today, I decided to think back about the animals that were my favorite to go and see. It made me feel a little less sad about missing the zoo. :) So, here's a few of my favorite animals from the zoo:

1. Giraffes:  I love giraffes because of their amazing height (Shocker, huh?!). Also, I think that it is really fun to feed them because their purple and/or blue tongues are insanely long, so they often wrap around your entire hand. It is quite creepy and exciting all at once. :)

2. The Jungle Cats: I'm talking lions, tigers, panthers, cheetahs and so on... They are all amazing, beautiful, and powerful creatures! I love them all.

3. Hippopotamus: They are so funny looking but cute at the same time. They make me laugh! They are also quite vicious, which I find very fascinating. They are just over all very fascinating creatures. :)

4. Kangaroo: They are cute, fuzzy, and they jump everywhere they go. I mean, what's not to love about them?

5. Toucan: I love all of the exotic birds, but Toucans have to be one of my favorites. They're so pretty and their colorful beaks are very intriguing! :)

6. Baboon: I know that these animals are pretty ugly, but I can't help but like them! Whenever I see baboons, I think of Rafiki from The Lion King; a loony, crazy old man baboon who everybody loves and laughs at. However, there's also that terrifying baboon scene from Tarzan. THAT is what gives me mixed feelings about baboons...

7. Anteater: These animals look so funny it kills me! At first, they seem to be pretty ugly, but the longer that I look at them, the cuter they appear to be. You must admit, it's pretty adorable how they carry their babies on their backs. Sure, gorillas do that too, but it's not nearly as cute as when the anteaters do it.

Farm Animals in Action Films

A couple days ago, I had a funny idea. I thought that if I was going to re-write books or do remakes of movies with all of the characters as farm animals, what animals would they be? I was so excited about this idea that I made a couple lists so that I could share my ideas with you! As I was writing, I began to run out of ideas for farm animals, so some of them technically wouldn't be put under the title of "farm animals".
Enjoy :)
